What is RSS

Most commonly know as Really Simple Syndication but also know as Rich Site Summary
It's a format for Aggregating web content that is updated frequently into one place. Rather than visiting 20 or 30 sites or wading through spam in your e-mail, information comes to you in one place. You can read subscribe and get information from News sites and blogs. Whenever information is updated at the web site, the aggregator is updated.
